Evening Reading - October 22, 2024

It's nighttime in America, which means time for another edition of Evening Reading.

Welcome, Shackers, to the back end of October. We’re chugging along into the holiday season nonstop and it’s almost that very special time of year for Game of the Year and Award deliberations. We’ve still got plenty of fun coming in between, though, so buckle into for a couple more months while we close out this year proper. For now? It’s time to shut down another day of posting with your latest Evening Reading. Enjoy.


In case you missed it at Shackenws...


And now… More stuff from The Internet!!!

The Axis Unseen is a little unforgiving

It’s really fun, though. Very freeform and explorative with a beautiful environment and creepy critters.


Game recognize game

Pacific Drive is still high on my indie top 10 list this year. Very good game.


Alternative platforms in music

Thomas Edison probably wouldn’t be thrilled, but oh well, he’s dead.


Never forget when Maggie was the most dangerous

Episodes like these and the Burns murder episode convinced me that you never get on Maggie Simpson’s bad side.


New progress on Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite & Beyond!

It's been great watching this project grow with Max’s help and the rest of the artists and programmers that have poured their time into it.


Guilty Gear patch notes coming, Leos are unbothered

The life of unga bunga has no fear of patch notes.


The skies of No Man’s Sky

What a beautiful game Hello Games made.

Bubbletron values a startup for THC-Infused Sugar Grizzly Bears at $110,930,400,000
I was just thinking we had a good arrangement for THC gummy bears on Bubbletron tonight. Not the highest value, but Bubbletron seems to like it.

Have a good evening, Shackers. We’ll see you again right before Halloween.
